2020年在诸多方面都让我们始料未及。新冠肺炎（COVID-19）疫情为全球带来了一场大规模的公共卫生灾难，各国均陷入了疫情及其相关应对政策带来的不同程度的经济困境，面临服务严重中断和人员流动严重受限的局面。无论是富裕国家还是贫穷国家，均未能幸免。在中低收入国家，许多弱势群体直接面临食物安全、医疗和营养方面的威胁。丧失生计、营养不良、教育中断和资源枯竭造成的长期影响可能性非常巨大，特别是对许多国家来说，距离新冠肺炎疫情的结束还遥遥无期。此外，疫情还凸显并加剧了我们食物系统的薄弱环节和不平等状况。一年过去了，全球因新冠肺炎疫情而进一步偏离了到2030年实现可持续发展目标(SDG)的进程。显然，食物系统可以在推动我们走上正轨方面发挥核心作用。要想实现可持续发展目标，就必须对食物系统进行转型，帮助我们更好地为下一次冲击做好准备，同时造福世界贫困人口和弱势群体以及我们的地球。

Tackling global challenges to food systems means we must better understand the future of aquatic foods. Research is critical to understand emerging opportunities for innovations—including the rise of lab-grown fish—and how these innovations can advance a healthy, sustainable, and equitable food system. To advance this research, I recently had the honor of formalizing a new […]

The CL0P Ransomware Group, also known as TA505, has exploited zero-day vulnerabilities across a series of file transfer solutions since December 2020. File transfer solutions often contain sensitive information from a variety of organizations. This stolen information is used to extort victims to pay ransom demands. In 2023, CL0P claimed credit for the exploitation of vulnerabilities in both Fortra’s GoAnywhere Managed File Transfer (MFT) and Progress Software’s MOVEit Transfer solutions.

Research conducted as part of security audits has revealed additional vulnerabilities. This dashboard contains a list of vulnerabilities known to be exploited by the CL0P ransomware group as well as other vulnerabilities that could be leveraged by CL0P and other threat actors. Operations teams can use this data to identify the assets affected by the associated CVEs targeted by the CL0P ransomware group. The following Nessus plugins identify the affected vulnerabilities:

•  90190: Progress MOVEit Transfer Installed (Windows)
• 176735: Progress MOVEit Transfer Web Interface Detection
• 176736: Progress MOVEit Transfer FTP Detection
• 176567: Progress MOVEit Transfer
• 177371: Progress MOVEit Transfer Critical Vulnerability (June 15, 2023)

The dashboard and its components are available in the Tenable.sc Feed, a comprehensive collection of dashboards, reports, assurance report cards and assets. The dashboard can be easily located in the Tenable Security Center Feed under the category Security Industry Trends.

The requirements for this dashboard are:

• Tenable Security Center 6.1.1
• Tenable Nessus 10.5.2

The Security Response Team (SRT) in Tenable Research digs into technical details and tests proof-of-concept attacks, when available, to ensure customers are fully informed of risks. The SRT also provides breakdowns for the latest vulnerabilities in the Tenable blog.

Tenable Research has posted the FAQ for MOVEit Transfer Vulnerabilities and CL0P Ransomware Gang blog post to provide the latest information about this threat.
